Rock Baby Rock It

Rock Baby Rock It is required viewing for every American - Reviewer Marshall Crenshaw in his book Hollywood Rock.
When the film Rock Around The Clock burst upon the World, it was almost as if a whistle had been blown to signal the beginning of a short, but dynamic period of 'B' grade movies. Most of these films have acquired cult status. But the film, Rock Baby Rock It, has acquired an even greater status; because it simply disappeared! It was in fact the second rock and roll film to ever be made. The dancing and music of this rare and authentic 50s rock movie are the most authentic visual records of the teenage movement of the mid-1950s.
The point of this 1956 masterpiece is that it has rock and roll in it - tons of rock and roll! Crafted at the precise moment that rock and roll was boiling over, this film contains an incredible swath of rock music - what a lollapalooza it is! Boogie from Preacher Smith; brilliant Texas doo-wop from the Five Stars: mad Memphis blues from rock and roll legend Roscoe Gordon; and white vocal group stylings from Don Coats and the Bon-Aires. But wait, there's more notably, the incredible Elvis-fueled rockabilly of 19-year old Johnny Hot Rock Carrol. Rock Baby Rock It also stars Kay Wheeler, the president of the National Elvis Presley fan club and a hot-bopping kitten in her own right who is billed as the Queen of Rock and Roll. The digitally re-mastered classic film also includes an audio commentary recorded by star, Kay Wheeler.
Rock Baby Rock It is especially popular in Europe as well as within the former Soviet Union who had outlawed all western music and films during communist rule. The movie provides the Russian youth with an authentic time capsule illustrating the birth of rock and roll and the teenage phenomena of the '50s.
The under-21ers are Texas bopper teenagers dressed in their authentic 1956 street clothes, whose awkwardness and sincerity make this one-of-a-kind film instantly loveable.
